Natural light is great but in my case it would also afford me a view of trash bags and ugly city streets.
I get what you mean about temporary though. I always feel like why should I improve things when I know this place sucks and I'll be gone in a year or two. That's a sentiment you should fight though even if you're moving next week.

A work in progress, as I still want to get a new background canvas for behind the TV and another Marvel character artwork for the right side of the patio door.
Some callouts in the image:
65 inch LG OLED C7P
PS4 Pro Spidey
Xbox One X Scorpio
Nintendo Switch (hidden in the corner with a shield light, I forgot to turn the light on for the image)
X Rocker Leather Chair (pretty damn comfortable for extended periods of gaming)
This is a beautiful setup (love the TV) but I really think you missed the major callout in that pic what with the B-A-Yootiful doggo lying on the sofa.
Wow, I just looked up that I haven't posted my setup since 2011 and certainly haven't since I moved into my new place. It's amazing how kids will prevent you from taking clean pics to post which is why I haven't been able to. I've finally had a chance to take new pictures when the house was actually clean and time to do it. A lot of the stuff is a bit old at this point including furniture, especially since nothing was changed when we moved, but we're holding off replacing some stuff until the kids are a bit older and hopefully less destructive.

None of this stuff will be used for the future home theater, but it's good for experimenting and portable for an outdoor movie night.
You really are. I could afford a better place but right now I'm trying to save every cent I can. I guess what I meant is that it can be crippling knowing you'll be moving on soon so instead of saying why bother, make your place as nice as you can no matter what. You're still going to spend time there so make it pretty.

Right, exactly. We're saying the same thing, I agree with you and am working on fixing it haha. The next couple weekends will be getting some nails (or the monkey hook style things) to hang pictures up, velcro ties, and maybe those hooks along with some storage boxes.
I've decided to post my current game rooms even though the new one is not ready and the majority of the collection is on the old one.
Let's start with the old famous one.
On this room I keep the games for the following consoles: NES, SNES, Super Famicom, Nintendo 64, Gamecube, Wii, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, DS, 3DS, Virtual Boy, PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP, Vita, Master System, Mega Drive/Genesis, Sega CD, 32X, Saturn, Dreamcast, Atari, Neo Geo CD, PC, Xbox, Xbox 360, demos and proto stuff.
On spoiler you can see more detailed pictures:
On my apartment I have a new game room that will receive the majority of games that are in the current game room.
It's a smaller game room but I think I will be able to fit a lot of games. I turned its bathroom into a closet with shelves to have more space.
I play the retro consoles on a Sony PVM using SCART cables.
For now I keep games for the following consoles on this game room: PCE, Xbox One, 64DD, WiiU, Switch, PS4 and Neo Geo AES.
I'm not happy with the current shelves so I will change all of them for better ones in the coming weeks.
On the new apartment, I play the current gen (PS4, Xbox One X and Switch) on the living room:
After I've moved everything from one game room to the other I will post new pictures here.

I wasn't going to do pics of my setup, but screw it.
It's kind of in a state of flux at the moment, and it certainly isn't as clean as some of the others here, but it works for me at the moment. I'm super space limited at the moment, so I've been trying to consolidate things as best I can, including slowly moving my movies and TV shows to my Plex server. Also, you're only getting that one shot of the toy/game room, since the rest of that room is a wreck right now.
Here's the living room. Since last year I've upgraded my TV to an X900E, and I absolutely love it. Especially since it can accept 240p over component. Sadly since last year the couch hasn't fared too well. Springs broke, and I had to replace them, and the stupid semi-real leather has been cracking and pealing, so that's why it's covered in a blanket. It just has to last until I buy a house.
Right now here's what consoles I have hooked up:
Xbox, GameCube, PS2, Wii U, PS3, 360, Xbox One X, Switch, PS4, Nvidia Shield, Analog Super NT, SNES and NES Mini
Here's my retro game area. I've rearranged this room quite a bit since last year, but unforuntaly it doesn't really work too well since the room kind of just became storage for the time being. I hate having a blackout curtain up, but sunlight is really bad for plastic, so it is what it is. That N64 is HDMI modded, so it doesn't even really belong in this room, but I ran out of connections downstairs.
Here's what I've got hooked up (or ready to quickly be hooked up) at the moment:
NES, PS2, Saturn, Dreamcast, Wii, Laserdisc player :P
Computer wise:
C64, Windows 98/DOS machine, and a XP machine. The big silver one on the floor isn't fully assembled, but it would be an AMD K6-2 machine.
IKBC MF87. It's nice but honestly a pretty bad choice for a comfy couch setup. Has to be the heaviest keyboard ever since everything outside of the caos is metal.
My humble games room - Nowhere near on a par with some of the ones in here, but I'm pretty pleased with it 😊
The view from the door
The view toward the door/merch corner/PS4 Pro 500m
The Press Kit Cupboard (Gran Turismo, Shadow of the Colossus, Wipeout, Uncharted 4, No Man's Sky, Until Dawn, Spidey, Last Guardian, Ashes Cricket and a few E3 wristbands)
My tiny bois
The chair (genuine cinema chair from an old cinema that got shut down) - cheap-ass green screen for when I/we do streaming, with mic and stream deck...
Current-gen games and bits of my MGS Collection (MGS4 Special Edition signed by Kojima & Shinkawa at the top :D)
The view from the chair, PC monitor used for second screen when streaming/recording
Please ignore the cabling rats nest under the monitor - been faffing with stuff today!
Some of you guys have such giant collection, kudus to you! I'm so impressed by this thread.
Just a small pet peeve... if you have some art, PLEASE frame it. It just looks cheap when you put a poster on the wall next to beautiful and organized shelves. Saw a good amount of people with that situation.
If you don't frame your videogame posters/art, why?
I don't get why people get so upset or even intimidated by the OP's setup. Just like tabris has been inspired by people before him, he and others have inspired me. Their setups might look expensive (and in some cases are if you want to go 1:1), but they don't have to be. Let's look at the OP's place.
Sure, the apartment itself probably costs a fortune, but when it comes to furniture the first thing you should notice is that there hardly is any. Of the ones that are there, only a handful are batshit insane expensive if you want legit ones.
- The coffee table looks like an IKEA Tofteryd.
- Can't really tell what the tv stand is, but you can get something similar with IKEA Bestå (which are somewhat modular so you can customize size, colors, doors, legs etc., 1, 2, 3). I like IKEA Stockholm (they used to have it in white too). A slightly taller Bestå is also a good looking cupboard.
-The Barcelona chairs and Eames lounge chair are expensive as fuck. They are also some of the most pirated furniture ever (I think copies of the Barcelona chairs can be found for a few hundred USD while a copy of the Eames chair can cost up to a grand USD).
- A used Herman Miller Aeron desk chair costs just slightly more than the racing chairs every kid has today.
- Computer desk looks like an IKEA Micke.
- Bed stand could be an IKEA Malm.
tl:dr: if you want to copy the OP's setup, just browse IKEA and pick a few furniture. It's probably cheaper than what you paid for your existing furniture.
The fishing store! I got it as a gift last year for my birthday. It was super fun to build. And I still have to find a nice place to put it on display in my apartment.

It is indeed! It's lovely, isn't it? I've also got a couple more that aren't in the cupboard - Dissidia and Uncharted Lost Legacy, but that's going to one of our other writers.
I love seeing all of the different setups. It's threads like these that were a lot of inspiration before I built my home theater/game room a few years ago.
Not a whole lot has changed year over year, but here we go:
I really dig your ceiling. Gives the room a lot of personality. I would have liked to do something similar, but my ceiling height in the basement wasn't tall enough. Looks great!

Holy shit.. AV123! That's a name I haven't heard in a while. What a journey that company was. Super happy I checked out this thread now.
Also, never sell your 111. I sold my 101FD and regret it. (also had a 6020)
Awesome cab too. Wish I had a place for a nice sit down besides in the basement. (well, a place that would pass wife approval anyway) Would be too much in my media room.
How I love these threads - I have been following this one for years going back to the old place, and there are some great set-ups here! Love seeing everything from big apartments to small, cosy rooms! I have been a passive viewer of both forums since forever, but this is actually my first post here.
Me and my girlfriend bought a pretty run down apartment two years ago in Stockholm, and we have basically renovated the whole thing. The major thing was turning it from a big studio-kinda-apartment into an apartment with one bedroom and a split living room/kitchen. My wish was for the TV section part of the room to be centred around the TV (which, according to my girlfriend and her friends, isn't in "style" anymore. I call bull on that one), and I think it turned out pretty well. I've been seeing some discussions around cable management and one thing I did as we were renovating was to basically drill a hole in the wall for the TV cables. I bought two white cable boxes and crammed the rest of the cables and switches in there. We just added a balcony to the apartment, which makes the room brighter, but also less ideal for playing video games during the day.
Here are some photos of the Stockholm set-up. They look a bit weird as they were taken by a friend who's in to photography. It's the only ones I have from the apartment though. However, nothing is changed or staged, we just really like to keep it clean.... I'm currently looking to add a comfy chair, but I can't seem to find one that I like - except for an Eames chair which costs a fortune.
9 months ago, I moved to New York for work (we still own the apartment in Stockholm though). I currently live with a few other guys (it's like being back in college!) and I have my own room now, rather than a full apartment. So I basically just bought the essentials (TV, a TV-stand, a bed and a drawer). I brought my PS4 Pro + accessories from Sweden. This is what my set-up in NY looks like currently.

They are actually right tho!
First we had the hearth, fireplace and the like as the center, then the TV took over and became what we gathered around for ages. But now when people have so many other ways to watch TV (phone, tablet, laptop) and it generally has become a little less important for the general public, the TV has lost its "obvious" spot. The social gathering area is what is "in style" now. Often a coffee table between two sets of seating areas facing each other, so that people sit face to face instead of aimed towards a TV.
Sometimes when we have some specific people over I wish we had such a seating area, but the rest of the time the TV setup is what we want so I'll have to live with some awkwardness those few times my in-laws want to come chat. :D
Lovely apartment you got btw and I like how you managed the space in your room!
